The Long-term Consequence of Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Meniscus Injuries Tập 35 Số 10 - Trang 1756-1769 - 2007
Stefan Lohmander, Martin Englund, Ludvig Dahl, Ewa M. Roos
The objectives of this study are to review the long-term consequences of injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament and menisci, the pathogenic mechanisms, and the causes of the considerable variability in outcome. Injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament and menisci are common in both athletes and the general population. At 10 to 20 years after the diagnosis, on average, 50% of those w...... hiện toàn bộ Fate of the ACL-injured Patient Tập 22 Số 5 - Trang 632-644 - 1994

We followed 292 patients who had sustained an acute traumatic hemarthrosis for a mean of 64 months. The KT-1000 arthrometer measurements within 90 days of injury revealed the injured knee was stable in 56 pa tients and unstable in 236. Forty-five unstable patients had an ACL reconstruction within 90 days of injury. Sur gical procedures performed >90 days after injury in cluded ligament...... hiện toàn bộ Platelet-Rich Plasma Tập 37 Số 11 - Trang 2259-2272 - 2009

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been utilized in surgery for 2 decades; there has been a recent interest in the use of PRP for the treatment of sports-related injuries. PRP contains growth factors and bioactive proteins that influence the healing of tendon, ligament, muscle, and bone. This article examines the basic science of PRP, and it describes the current clinical applications in spor...... hiện toàn bộ The Role of the Scapula in Athletic Shoulder Function Tập 26 Số 2 - Trang 325-337 - 1998
W. Ben Kibler
The exact role and the function of the scapula are misunderstood in many clinical situations. This lack of awareness often translates into incomplete evaluation and diagnosis of shoulder problems. In addition, scapular rehabilitation is often ignored. Recent research, however, has demonstrated a pivotal role for the scapula in shoulder function, shoulder injury, and shoulder rehabilitatio...... hiện toàn bộ Muscle Injuries Tập 33 Số 5 - Trang 745-764 - 2005

Muscle injuries are one of the most common traumas occurring in sports. Despite their clinical importance, few clinical studies exist on the treatment of these traumas. Thus, the current treatment principles of muscle injuries have either been derived from experimental studies or been tested only empirically. Although nonoperative treatment results in good functional outcomes in the major...... hiện toàn bộ Impingement syndrome in athletes Tập 8 Số 3 - Trang 151-158 - 1980
Richard J. Hawkins, John C. Kennedy
Athletes, particularly those who are involved in sporting activ ities requiring repetitive overhead use of the arm (for example, tennis players, swimmers, baseball pitchers, and quarterbacks), may develop a painful shoulder. This is often due to impinge ment in the vulnerable avascular region of the supraspinatus and biceps tendons. With the passage of time, degeneration and tears of the ...... hiện toàn bộ Abnormal lower limb symmetry determined by function hop tests after anterior cruciate ligament rupture Tập 19 Số 5 - Trang 513-518 - 1991
Frank R. Noyes, Sue D. Barber, Robert E. Mangine
This study assessed the sensitivity of four different types of one-legged hop tests. The goal was to deter mine alterations in lower limb function in ACL deficient knees. Regression analyses were conducted between limb symmetry as measured by the hop tests and muscle strength, symptoms, and self-assessed func tion. In 67 patients, 50% had abnormal limb symmetry scores on...... hiện toàn bộ Treatment of Chronic Elbow Tendinosis with Buffered Platelet-Rich Plasma Tập 34 Số 11 - Trang 1774-1778 - 2006
Allan Mishra, Terri Pavelko
Background Elbow epicondylar tendinosis is a common problem that usually resolves with nonoperative treatments. When these measures fail, however, patients are interested in an alternative to surgical intervention. Hypothesis Treatment of chronic severe elbow tendinosis with buffered platelet-...... hiện toàn bộ Autologous Chondrocyte Transplantation Tập 30 Số 1 - Trang 2-12 - 2002
Lars Peterson, Mats Brittberg, Illka Kiviranta, Evy Lundgren Åkerlund, Anders Lindahl
We evaluated the durability of autologous chondrocyte transplantation grafts in 61 patients treated for isolated cartilage defects on the femoral condyle or the patella and followed up for a mean of 7.4 years (range, 5 to 11). Durability was determined by comparing the clinical status at the long-term follow-up with that found 2 years after the transplantation. After 2 years, 50 of the 61...... hiện toàn bộ
